To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE H.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a section of my improved base-ring, showing otherparts of my invention. Fig. 3 is a cross-section of a-riug and leg combined. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of my improved base-supporting ring mounted with legs; and Fig. 5, a detail perspective view ofla portion of the supportingring, showing the overlapping joint and upper and lower shoulders.

This invention relates to certain improvements in stove-supports, and it has for its object to provide a cheap and durable means for supporting the body of the stove, as more fully hereinafter set forth.

B is a stove-leg on whichlare formed the nibs a a and an offset shank, K, in which I makea hole orclongated slot, S, and notches t t.

In Fig. 2, H is a part of my improved basering, in which 20 is a projection extending inwardly from the periphery of such ring, and having the hole 1' in said projection, and o 0 are nibs on the extreme edge thereof; and h h represent shoulders, the upper one of which is a guide and support to the base of a stove when placed within it.

it is a projection having the hole N cast therein and an under-lapping flange, g, formed on one end of the section, while at the other or opposite end are the same counterparts, which are made to overlap, and by which they arejoined together and held with an ordinary stove-bolt passing through the hole N, as seen in Fig. 4.

In Fig. 3, Y is a stove-bolt, andj a nut, and I c an odset or rest in the leg B, on which the ring or section of the ring H rests, and when bolted together, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the nibs a a engage with the inner and under side of the ring, While the nibs o 0 on the projection 20 look into the recesses t t of the stove-leg B, whereby they are firmly secured in position, and the ring is tlush with the face of the leg,

as shown.

In Fig. 4 are two sections of rings mounted with stove-legs in their respective positions ready for the base of a stove, which may be placed upon the ring within the raised flange "h, and by which the mechanical construction,

projecting lugs or projections; to which thelegs are secured, substantially as specified.

3. The combination, in a stove-support, ofthe sectional ring having a flange at .its upper edge and overlapping joints and projections, and means for securing them together, and inweirdly-extending lugs or projections, with the legs having their shanks adapted to be se cured to the inwardly-extending lugs, and provided with an offset for receiving the lower edge of the ring, substantially as specified.
